Why don't the eggs explode?
11641
They are shielded inside with a metal surrounding. Basically they steam with the water. Works great.

As we all know, eggshells do not expand like balloons, so when you follow the Boiley instructions to use the included pin to poke a hole through the large end of the eggshell before cooking the egg, the pressure that builds up during cooking can escape through the pin hole instead of building up inside the shell and causing the egg to explode. That's how it works.

The yolk is enclosed in a thin membrane. If you don't pierce the membrane before placing the cooker in the microwave, it will explode when the yolk expands as it is heated and breaks the membrane. Also, the longer eggs sit in the package, the less centered the yolk will be. If you are using farm fresh eggs, piercing the yolk with the enclosed pin will be less predictable. When I use fresh eggs, I use a hat pin to pierce them just to be on the safe side. Store-bought eggs are usually about three weeks old so the yolk is closer to the shell and can be easily pierced according to the directions.

That's what I want to know and still can't figure out. Sorry I can't help. I do think it would be good for eggs if you can get it to work.

Mine is higher than 1000 also, and it seems I always have egg "exploding" out the shell pinhole. Doesn't make for a pretty egg, but other than that, seems fine.

I find that the amount of water determines how much your egg is cooked. Try adding more water for a firmer egg. Hope this helps.

In that no one has responded to this great question, I'm gonna throw in my hat: I'd guess it's because with more eggs, there is less space in the container that holds the steam- which cooks the eggs. If you compare the amount of water needed for, say 3 eggs, you'll see that it takes more water for hard-boiled than for soft-boiled, and that makes sense.

The eggs are not very loud. The biggest concern would be if the little one was in the throwing phase. There are 12 separate pieces

I have never understood this saying. Of all the chickens I've ever had, none of them have ever hatched, only their eggs. I will keep watching them though and hope for the best. It will be pretty cool when one of them does!

The problem with water bubbling out is normally caused by installing the egg tray upside down. The ridges on the handles must be facing up. If not, the eggs crack, the whites leak out, the water bubbles out, and you have a mess.

It kills by cutting through their exoskeletons and drying them up from the inside. It's not like a poison that kills immediately. Also there are eggs that are still being laid, and it will take a while for all of them to hatch and be exposed. Just have patience & it will work.

First of all, how are you preparing the eggs? Are they fried, scrambled, or what? Secondly, did you use any sort of cooking spray or oil to coat the pan first? Tell me a little more specifically about what's happening in the cooking process, and I may be able to help you figure out the problem. It may be that the pan is too hot or not hot enough. I'm a chef and have seen a lot of sticky eggs in my day. The more details you can describe about what's going on, the easier it'll be to troubleshoot & determine the source of the problem. :)

No, the eggs do not leak. I think it also helps make it easier to peel the eggs. I drop my eggs into a bowl of ice water when they are cooked and peel them within a few minutes, and they peel SO easily and quickly. I can peel all seven eggs more quickly than it usually takes to peel just one!

In my experience, the raw egg would probably run out underneath the ring somewhere and all over your pan at least 50% of the time. They just don't make a great seal, and then the edges take quite a while to harden enough to take off the rings and flip it over. I have found the metal rings to be much better-- you can make them good and hot before you put the eggs in so they don't leak nearly as much, and the eggs cook much more quickly, too.

Hi Carl I am so sorry it took me awhile to answer your question. But yes large eggs work in this product just fine we use that size the majority of the time its quick and easy to use we love it, just make sure to put enough water in the base so that the eggs cook completely through I hope this helps.

When you put the dome over the small part of the egg, you may have to pull the handle a couple of times to break the shell. Pull the handle to the side to lift the egg shell off the bottom part.

The eggs practically lasts for decades... its in a "Stasis" State where the eggs are pre-sealed in a protective shell and ready to hatch as soon as you mix the Formula + Water together!

If u work quickly it may. They do break easily, but I highly recommend. I adjusted the recipe in booklet and use two rather than three eggs.

not sure, but the actual eggs worked great for my daughter. we used it as stocking filler and had it in water as soon as it came out of the stocking. A good buy
